DEPARTMENT for Transport (DfT) has announced a £50 million boost for electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints for those in leasehold and rented accommodation, as well as the expansion of the Workplace Charging Scheme.
Denise Beedell, Logistics UK’s policy manager for vans and urban, commented: ‘This announcement is a positive step forward to decarbonise light commercial vehicle (LCV) operations and will lead to a greater uptake of EVs among LCV operators. We continue to push for greater electric van model grants, especially for heavier vans over 2.5 tonnes.’
